Who We Are

Legal Action Chicago does the impact work that Legal Aid Chicago, the Midwest’s largest provider of free civil legal services to people who are living in poverty, cannot do because of federal funding restrictions. Specifically, we litigate class actions and pursue legislative initiatives to help not just individual clients but entire communities.

To ensure that low-income communities in Cook County have an advocate in their corner, Legal Action Chicago relies on private donations.
